Should obese people be required to buy two seats when flying?

I agree with this but in turn, do i have to pay more for leg room because im skinny but unfortunatly, genetially or otherwise i can't fit my legs on my side and have to stretch out?

Its a stricky circumstance :/

Depends on how much you have to stretch them... I also have long legs and it pisses me off to go in the last row (which is usually a bit smaller, probably the leftover space after putting dozens of rows in front). But if I have to put them a bit to the side at most I'll take a very small bit of space which shouldn't disturb the other person at all. In moderation it shouldn't be a problem, unless you're next to a very picky person (in which case the flight attendants can probably find you another seat).

It's all a matter of common sense. I don't think many people are out to annoy others for petty reasons, but taking up a big portion of someone else's space is definitely too much.

 

Also I can't fix the legnth of my legs by eating some salads.

Also when I need to stretch out I keep to myself and never get in anyone's way, unless the guy in front of me decides to recline. In which case I stretch forward and push him back upwards (it doesn't break the seat, don't worry). Another way to get the guy to move back up is to turn on your light and tilt it to it hits them square in the face. If they whine just tell them to pull their seats up, if they pull the "i have the right to" just pull  the same about your light.
